How to Convert iTunes Movies to iPad Compatible Video/Audio Formats

Generally, iTunes can help you convert videos to iPad compatible format by creating iPad version. Open your iTunes, select the movies that you want to transfer to iPad format, and then follow "File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version". But this way only works for some videos in iTunes instead of all. Sometimes, when you do as the above steps, you will find "Create iPad or Apple Version" greys out.
